"Literally, I don't remember the last time I got hit on. I might have been hit on by a woman recently, but I'm not 100-percent sure."

What would you do if Mila Kunis was at the other end of the bar? Walk over and bend her ear with your suave sophistication and rapier wit? Stammer through a half-sentence and then act like you were talking to yourself? Actually there's a more likely third option: stay a comfortable twenty paces away thinking of cool things to say, do nothing, then swear at yourself the whole way home. Trust us. Actually, trust her. "Literally, I don't remember the last time I got hit on," Mila told us earlier this week over a glass of Jim Beam at Bill's in Midtown Manhattan, where she was helping to promote Jim Beam's Make History campaign. "I might have been hit on by a woman recently, but I'm not 100-percent sure." Luckily Esquire's 2012 Sexiest Woman Alive still had a few tips for approaching her, or really any woman, should the rare opportunity arise.

ESQUIRE.COM: You've famously been asked out to the Marine Ball, and to watch soccer or go to a wedding with the kid from BBC radio...

MILA KUNIS: Oh, that's right!

ESQ: Yeah, he was adorable. But when were you last approached at a bar?

MK: I swear to God we were having this conversation yesterday and I don't know. Literally, I don't remember the last time I got hit on.

ESQ: Not one guy has hit on you today?

MK: I might have been hit on by a woman recently, but I'm not 100-percent sure.

ESQ: What was her method?

MK:[Laughs.] Not making any eye contact, [...and snorts] and being really awkward. I'm being such an asshole right now.

ESQ: Well you were famous by about the time you were about 14, so there's probably an intimidation factor.

MK: There might have been guys with enough cajones to send over a drink. If I was hit on today maybe I just don't know it. I told my friend that I never get hit on and he's like, "You're crazy!" But as far as I know, no, I've almost never been hit on.

ESQ: Well I'll refrain, but what tactic would best work on you?

MK: Make me laugh.

ESQ: Just make you laugh?

MK: For sure. If you can make me laugh, do it. And don't be an asshole. Don't be that guy who's like, "Should I know who you are?" That bullshit ain't gonna get you far, buddy. But if you're funny and legit and can make me giggle? Sold.

ESQ: What about the opposite, if they immediately point out they know who you are? Like, "Hey, I loved you in Forgetting Sarah Marshall"?

MK: No. Done. I mean it's not that I expect them to not know. I don't expect anything either way. But it shouldn't be the first thing you say.

ESQ: Well good. But I was wondering if bourbon is too ballsy to send over to a girl.

MK: Not at all. Not anymore, really, although you should order whatever drink the girl's drinking. Don't presume.

ESQ: And definitely don't assume she wants a Cosmo.

MK: Oh God, no. Because my dad loves himself an apple martini, but you will never see me drinking it. If you want to be a good guy, watch for the details. See what the girl's actually drinking and send one over. You can always tell the bartender to just send her what she has or have the bartender ask her what she wants.

ESQ: Have you ever thrown a drink in someone's face?

[Long pause.]

[Car horns in the distance.]

[More pausing.]

MK: No...

ESQ: Have you ever wanted to?

MK: Oh my God, all the time. In an alternate universe I do it often. Like sometimes someone says something really douchey, and in an alternate universe I have a drink and I just chuck it in their face. In reality it never happens.

ESQ: Is throwing a drink better than a slap?

MK: Oh yeah. It's so Dynasty. It's so like, "Uh! What?!" You just throw it in their face and stomp off. It's perfect.
